Patch 0.16: New Game+, Boss Rework, and Japanese Language

Whatever It Takes · published 2 Jun 2026, 13:25 UTC

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Patch 0.16 is live!

We’ve updated core systems of the demo to make your adventure deeper and more seamless.


🔄 NEW GAME+ (NG+)

Now, after your first playthrough, you can start again while keeping all your learned skills.

  • Unlock and test every single ability in the skill tree on a single character.

  • No Resets: All your progress carries over to the next game cycle.

⚠️ To ensure all new features (including NG+) work correctly and to prevent technical issues, we recommend creating a new profile and avoiding the use of old save files.


⚔️ BOSS REWORK

The final encounter has been completely overhauled. We’ve updated the boss's behavior and combat tactics and added new phases.


📖 SEAMLESS TUTORIALS

No more intrusive pop-up windows! All hints are now automatically saved in your journal. Study them at your convenience without interrupting the action.


🌍 WHAT ELSE IS NEW:

  • Localization: Japanese language support added.

  • Atmosphere: New character dialogues and sound effects.

  • Stability: General bug fixes and technical improvements.


Thank you for your support! Share your feedback on the reworked boss in the Steam Discussions.
